Kings at Rockets picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockets 118, Kings 110

Moneyline

The Kings are 2-9 in road games and 1-6 in their last 7 road games. Aside from that, they have only 2 wins in their last 13, while the Rockets are 5-2 at home and 8-2 in their last 10 games overall.

Both teams are rested, this doesn't look like there is much of a chance for a major upset, and -1400 odds are never a good play alone.

PASS.

Against the spread

Despite their 11 losses in 13 games, only once in their last 9 games have the the Kings lost by more than 14 points. The Rockets have 2 wins by more than 15 points in their last 5 victories and 7 games overall. This doesn't necessarily mean it will be a close game, but it probably won't be a huge blowout.

BET KINGS +15.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Six of the Kings' last 10 games have surpassed 230 total points, but only 1 of the Rockets' last 8 games (their last game) surpassed that total, and that was a loss.

BET UNDER 229.5 (-110).
